GREAT BOOK!!!!

This was a fun and creative plot. The characters were real and you walk away having laughed and learned some too! I can also say that I am a voice actor and the detail in the book is pretty well documented. Keep up the fun writing Allie!

Great "meet", cute romance

I quite enjoyed this romance -- basically, I couldn't put it down. The characters acted like real people, instead of stereotypes. The Christian message was an integral part of the story, and yet, it wasn't heavy-handed or over-the-top, and didn't overwhelm the humor and romance. I've read a number of the Love Inspired stories, and in general, I think they're quite good.

good, clean, fun

Lindy is the voice of one of the most popular cartoon characters on primetime television. It makes it difficult on a date when her escort asks what she does for a living because a request to "do the voice" always follows. Do they like her for her? Or the character she plays. Leo is a network executive who has been sent to save Lindy's show in the midst of bad ratings. The colorful cast of characters is rounded out by Nigel, the show's British creator whose scripts aren't what they used to be. Marilyn, Nigel's iguana, makes a Technicolor appearance. Kyle, one of the men in Lindy's life who can't seem to separate Lindy from her character. This is an entertaining novel filled with humor and Christian values that encourages the reader to ask herself, "what's important in my life?"

My socalled love life

This was the first time a read a book by this author, but not the last. Usually, the main problem i have with Christian romance novels is the cheese factor, but this one was good, very little cheese to speak of. The characters were fun, real, and easy to relate to. Very funny chick lit, with not your typical characters. I finished this book in a day, laughing through most of it.

Fun read!

This book has romance, humor, and a great set-up. The main character has a great job... which makes it almost impossible for her to find a decent date! She's the voice actress for a smart-aleck owl on a hit cartoon series. And as soon as her dates find out, they can't look at her the same way again. This is a great Christian romance that was fun and easy to read. I read it in one day and wished it were longer. Although, I have to tell you, I thought her co-worker, the nutty creator of the comic, was a lot more fun, and a lot more interesting, than the male lead.
